Synopsis:
the title seems odd when there is obviously a man in it as well as two girls' but it turns out he (Jack Sergeant-Shadbolt) is more than just a man. they are in a waiting room betwixt the portals of Heaven and Hell. Motor-mouth Isobel (Bailey McCormack) has topped herself while sardonic Jacqueline (ailsa Kreft) met her accidental fate on the piste. and now they have to help him help humankind . . . Whimsical.

Synopsis:
Based on a true story, this one woman play follows Freya Desmarais on her journey to rock bottom and back. This 'mental' comedy is coloured by life lessons that apply to anyone who has ever felt unsure of themselves (hint: everybody. So come, 'cause it's really good and stuff.)

Synopsis:
Live Orgy is the sex education you never got but should have. We want to strip down the meaning of sex, pleasure and consent through the power of rap music, feminism and comedy, Desmarais said.

Top of PageThere's So Much To Live For
Synopsis:
Morrissey is just an ordinary guy. He has a stupid name. His mum liked the Smiths a lot. One day he went wandering. He might have wandered a little too far this time. Now he's found himself in a strange new world, a world away, where strange people call themselves the Romanox and who regard e Coli as some neighbourhood scoundrel, rhyming like the Mad Hatter and threatening to kill Morrissey, all in the same breath. Will he get out alive? there's So Much To Live For is about the fears that plague modern society, pervading our cerebral spaces and sending us into a spiral of hysteria and panic. Is it justified, or are we all just a bit crazy?
